JOHN HENRY STONE, OF HAMILTON, ONTARIO, CANADA.

TUBULAR LANTERN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 349,763, dated September 28, 1886.

Application filed June 6, 1885. Serial No. 167,918. (ModeL) Patented in England June 14, 1884, No. 8,983, and in Canada April 9, 1885, No. 21,389.

To all whom it 71mg concern.-

Be it known that 1, JOHN HENRY STONE, of the city of Hamilton, in the county of Went worth, in the'Province of Ontario, Dominion of Canada, manufacturer, have invented cer- V tain new and useful Improvements in Tubular Lanterns, (for which I have obtained Letters Patent in Great Britain, No. 8,983, dated June 14, 1884,) to be called or known as Stones IO Perfect Tubular Lantern, and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and

exact description of the constructionand operation of the same.

My invention relates to certain improvements in tubular lanterns; and it consists in the construct-ion and combination of parts, as hereinafter set forth.

By reference to the drawings forming part of this specification, it will be seen that Figure 1 is an elevation of my lantern. Fig. 2 is an elevation showing globe tilted over in position for lighting, trimming, or filling. Fig. 3 represents an under view of the flange and recess. Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the spring detached.

A is the base or well of the lantern; B B, the tubes; 0, the perforated disk upon which the globe rests; D D, the wire globe-holder and guard secured to the said disk on each side of the globe. It is fastened to the under side of the disk, and, bending, projects upward on either side, and at'the top presses against the upper part of the globe and serves to keep it in position on the disk when the said globe is tilted over, as in Fig. 2.

Kis the double or triple jointed hinge, which allows the globe to be tilted over. It consists of two links,'h 1 the lower one, h, being securely fastened to the base A, and the upper 40 link, i, hinged to the link 71. and to a tube, h,

fastened to the under side of the perforated disk O, thus forming a double hinge connecting the base A with the disk O, for enabling the globe to be tilted over. It will be observed that by the addition of another link to those of hand i a triple hinge would be the result; but the two aforesaid links answer the purpose, and are less trouble and expense to manufacture.

E is the upper air-chamber, the lower edge, w, of its sides being slightly bent inward, in order to allow the bottom a to be crimp'ed thereto. The said bottom is stamped out of an entire piece of sheet metal, with a slot, 11, cut across its center, a recess, (1, and a flange, c, projecting all around from the base of the air-chamber E when the two are crimped together, as in Fig. 2, which does away with all solder, which is objectionable at that part of the lanternon account of its liability to melt off.

- In order to steady the globe securely when in an upright position, a spring, 0, is secured to the flange above the globe, and, projecting downward, is curved over the bead of the o 5 globe, then bent laterally, and made to surround the globe under the bead about threequarters of its circumference, leaving an open space in front for the ingress and egress of the globe. The said lantern,constructed as shown, 7c gives a steady uniform flame at the burner.

What I claim as my invention is In a tubular lantern, the combination, with the base A, tubes B, connected therewith, and air-chamber E, connected to tubes 13, of the globe-supporting disk 0, the globe resting thereon, the globe holder and guard composed of the two looped wires D, secured at their lower ends to opposite sides of disk C, and bearing at their upper ends against the globe, 8c and the spring 6, pendent from the chamber E and clasping the upper portion of the globe to aid the holders D in securing the globe in place, substantially as described.

Dated at Hamilton, Ontario, this 26th day May, A. D. 1885.
